LiteSpeed VS Unixy Varnish - The Truth!

I think its about time we got down to some serious public testing with this new varnish plugin by Unixy and not an apples to oranges comparison which is slowly getting around the forum's

Whiles you sort between you all who will do what, I will hunt down a decent provider who will lay on a good dedicated box for this test for acouple of day's, Hopefully we,ll beable to test other configurations against litespeed.

Sadly the server which I purchased is still in the provisioning process.

But all is not lost because the VPS which I was offered has been accepted, provisioned and all details sent to me, Many Thanks to Dan from EZPZ Hosting for donating this monster of a VPS which is located on one of his Dev Node's (Note: Nothing critical is on the node)

This VPS has 6GB Ram which is plenty ample enough, Am sure Dan will chip-in on the specs of the main node.

Since no 3rd party's have stepped up to the mark of doing this testing someone from Litespeed will kindly kick this public show off, Once the testing is underway am sure people will step up, Remember only trusted people will be allowed to undertake the testing.

Due to being very busy and a short period of ill health things regarding this testing came to a near stand-still, However am back and going to finish what I first started doing and that was showing the people of the internet the truths between Litespeed and varnish.

In our initial testing (Above) we used Unixy Varnish 1.3b so am unsure if theirs been any more stable releases since our initial testing however I shall look into this before starting anymore testing and will make sure everything has latest releases running before proceeding with any testing.

I am very baffled to think why Unixy assumes I didn’t use the Unixy Varnish Plug-in in my ab tests…

From Unixy himself “Whoever is running that show did not benchmark our plug-in.”

So I post this to set this straight, yes Unixy we did use your Varnish Plug-in and not the default VCL from the Varnish repository like your trying to make people believe.

Infact I used a trial version which was labelled: varnish.unixy.net-1.3b.tar

Why does Unixy feel the need to make up false half baked accusations?

I would also like to point out that yes a member of the Litespeed staff did install Litespeed for me and I also doubled checked to make sure it was a stock installation and nothing more!

I did notice that on the email which I received from Unixy it stated that their would be an installation charge for the Varnish product to be installed so in this instance I got one of my techs to install the Unixy Varnish Plug-in since I felt being charged for installation of a trial product was a little unfair.

So armed with the port numbers I was then myself able to run the simple ab tests as shown in my previous posts, All the ab tests was carried out by me!

For the people of WHT & Litespeed Forums I have enclosed some screenshots to actually prove that yes I did use a trial version of Unixy’s Varnish Plug-in and not the default VCL from the Varnish repository.
